Where have I been? Right here, but life has been a whirlwind! Sorry for falling behind on meal planning for those who follow it.

• June was all about catching up at work after being out of the office and battling a rough flu.
• July brought family going overseas, granddaughter to babysit, endless birthdays, and work.
• August and September were our turn to go overseas—Bali was absolutely AMAZING!
• October has been a blur of wedding planning (my daughter), work, and keeping up with Weight Watchers horrid changes.

Now with this meal plan, I’ve decided to stay realistic with Melbourne’s unpredictable weather, I’m shifting to WEEKLY meal planning. It allows me to adjust based on the forecast, which this week swings from 18°C to 26°C—fun, right? In Melbourne, it’s more about sudden “hot changes” than cool ones.

As for November, expect a two-week gap while I head to Perth for business. I’ll be staying with the lovely Anna Van Dyken and her wonderful family, then with Wendy (aka CookSister NZ) and her boys are heading to Anna’s so I will be heading over to Anna’s parents’ for some extra special family time. And yes, there’s work to do—but the catch-up time with Anna & Rod? I can hardly wait!
